Bought this low mileage 2023 Honda CL500 today.
It’s smooth twin cylinder engine, size and weight all fit the bill perfectly. The race numbers may go, although I’m getting quite used to them!!
How’s the engine? Big improvement over your 400?
It is to me, smooth and with just a bit more power, plus cable throttle doesn’t have that on/off effect of a ride by wire one.

Nice looking bike.
It’s a bike that looks better in the flesh too… although it does have the biggest silencer ever!! 
That’s an interesting bike!!
It was a bike I’d thought about, but wasn’t sure, then on holiday we kept passing one outside the local Honda dealer and it worked its way to the top of my list!
Previous owners “race numbers” are now gone.

Good stuff - tank shape, downpipes and silencer are all things I criticised when the bike first came out, although I have got more used to them now… the panels look quite good, but my first reaction was, if I wanted more bodywork I’d have bought a 500X!! 
I will watch more of his videos though, it’s all useful information.
